Negan raised some pretty badass kids though. They stopped Armageddon!

That fuck head in Spartacus. Fucking Ashur. I hated his name so much I can't hear that name without getting mad.

Yes I will still watch this if it ever gets made.

I just scrolled quickly and didn't see it but the guy who played Peck ( William Atherton) in Ghostbusters the first one. Evidently he was not well received after the movie, least for awhile. He was a great at playing asshole characters in the 80s.

Surprising that it still happens these days...

I mean, in the early days of TV sure, I know people in the 50s used to send blankets to an actress because she played a character that was poor and they would throw mud at the actor who played her husband because he was an asshole... But these days? Dang, get over it, they're just doing their job!

Does Will Weaton count? Wesley Crusher want supposed to be hated, it just turned out that way and Weaton took a rasher of shit for that role.

I believe Carroll O'Connor (Archie Bunker) used to get people yelling at him for being a bigot.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan?? How could anyone hate the Kentucky fried southerner from Seattle?? I stopped watching "the walking dead" before they got to his part. I started watching "the boys" because I hear he is joining the cast next season.

Give "Rampage" a shot and tell me you don't love that man.

Oh I love the Umbridge actress. She's done a lot if cool stuff.

Sam Rockwell as Wild Bill in the Green Mile. I just can't, that character was awful and he did it soo well!

I liked Joffrey and I say this as someone who did not enjoy GoT as much as the rest of the world seemed to.

Hands down Claes Bang as 'the prick' from the show Bad Sisters. I'm pretty sure I'll have a visceral dislike of any character I see him play in the future.

What about "actors you were actually fuckin scared of because they played the role so well"?

Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast 😳

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is John Winchester for me

I don't know anything about Richard Kind in real life, whether he's chill or an asshole, or whatever.

But in the TV show Stargate Atlantis, he plays a man named Lucius Lavin (pronounced lovin') who is by far and away the most annoying antagonist to grace the show. He appears in two episodes, named similarly as he basically does the same thing in a different way. Great small time "villain" who has sinister potential, but is just starting out.

Absolutely made me hate the actor, and I refused to watch some things because he was in them.

Incidentally, he surprised me in a few shows as side characters, also annoying.

No idea what he's like for real though, so maybe he is annoying and unlikeable.

Javier Bardem

Christopher Lee

Peter Stormare

John Glover (you might not know him by name, but you see his face and know the character is evil)

I don't hate, but I honestly despise everyone of "The Walking Dead" team, regardless of whether they were actors or production team, who were complicit in the emotional violence against their viewers when Neegan brutally murdered protagonists that the audience had grown attached to for seasons.

And I do not object to the killing of the protagonists, if that's what the writers wanted. I object to the way in which it was portrayed, breaking the rules of the genre and the unspoken agreement with an audience that there are different ways in which violence is portrayed depending on context:

The rule that was broken here is that the actual gore happens off-camera and is only implied, maybe the after-effects are shown. Gore on-camera in the zombie genre is only allowed between humans and zombies. Zombies are by definition subject to their instincts, whereas a human killing another human is cold-blooded murder in this scenario, and it is not needed for the story / suspense to show the actual gore - only the lead-up and an aftermath, or maybe an "artists depiction" - like "screen goes blurry" similar to the first murder (OTOH, I knew that one was coming and skipped a few seconds, so maybe I missed something similarly despicable).

The second murder in said scene caught me off-guard and made me (and a lot of other people) quit watching forever. Fuck AMC, fuck the producers, and fuck the cast for exposing me to that snuff shit.
